Hi Everyone,

It’s Tuesday night and way early for this weeks newsletter, but we will be leaving tomorrow and starting a nice 4 days off vacation.  So a newsletter will have to be tonight instead of Friday.  So without delay….

GREENLIGHT
We still have all Speed Release 2 vehicles in stock, and in a couple weeks the MCG R7 rides will be arriving. 

The entire Greenlight area has been reworked with current updated release dates, and some new releases scheduled for this year.

HOT WHEEL
We received a load of 1/50 scale Batman vehicle assortments.  This will be our last batch of vehicles until late in the year when all new rides come in, so please order while the goodies are in stock.

Also still fresh is the 1/50 VW Series.  Lots of goodies in this lineup.

M2 MACHINES
We received the Multi Packs in today, and will be shipping all pre-orders tomorrow.  After that we will update the site with remaining pieces.  These came out very nice, you will love these sets.

MILEZONE PROJECTS
Ok the word is out, Milezone’s is planning for 3 series new “Projects” for late this year, and all of next year.  You can get a peek of all 3 on the message forum.
The series will be “Milezone Primer Project” “Holiday Project” and “Camaro Project”.Â
Pre-order info will be put on the site late this month.

ON VACATION
We will be out of the office Thursday thru Monday, so we will be out of contact for a few days.  All orders, calls, and emails will be answered next week. 

That’s it for this weeks newsletter.  We want to take this time to thank all of you for continued support, it means allot to us that we have such great loyal customers.  Without you we could not continue to do these cool “Project” and bring you the cool rides.Â
We wish all of you a happy and safe 4th of July.  May your fireworks show be “A Blast”, and your bar-b-que be “Smokin”.

I am a bit early forthe blog, but wanted to write this before I got home as the wife is giving me loads of “Outside Work” to do before our big family reunion.  If anyone wants to stop by and help, I will throw in a few Hot Wheels. 

Ok lots of shipping today, as with all Mondays.  We are going to ship right up till Wed., and then of course will be off work Thursday till Monday. 

Added today a boatload of 1/50 scale Batman vehicles to the site.  All rides are now available.  This is from the D cases.  This will also be the last batch we will receive for awhile, so please order up if needed.

Also received new 1/18 scale The Dark Knight Batmobile, which will be added to the site real soon.

And then we are hoping for the M2 Machines Multi-packs rides Wed.  Not sure if we will have time to ship them before we leave, but will try.

Oh yeah got some cool info from Greenlight on some up and coming rides.  We will be adding some new series to the line-up.  The first will be Called MCG Up In Flames, then the Country Roads, and then more of MCG, Barrett-Jackson, and Factory 2 Packs.  I promise after the vacation to do some serious Greenlight category/product updating for you all, with pre-order info.

Have you guys peeked at the message forum lately?  We are showing off 2 new “Projects” for next year, and the biggest one will be posted real soon. 

Ok that’s it for today’s Blog, see you all tomorrow…..

Hi Everyone,

We are a day early on the weekly newsletter, but we wanted to post up some info that is important by tomorrow.  So sit back and read carefully as there is some importnat info on this weeks read……

JOHNNY LIGHTNING
July we hope will be a “Back In Action” for the JL rides, as there are plans for a few new assortments to arrive including the long awaited Dukes of Hazzard R5 rides.
Other than that nothing else new for JL.

GREENLIGHT
The Speed 2 vehicles are now in stock and ready to go.  This is a much much better improvement from Series 1.  The Corvette is a definate must have.

Muscle Car Garage R7 will be shipping early July, so pre-order now if you would still like a set of these rides.

We hope to do some major updating to the Greenlight categories including some pre-order info.  It looks like we are a bit out of date for the release dates.  Watch for this in the next week or so.

M2 MACHINES
Next week (will be the 2nd of July) we will be receiving the Multi-packs.  There are some sweet stretched vehicles in the line-up.  Don’t forget about the regular Auto-thentics 5 pack as well, this is showing some awesome detail.

Auto-Thentics Series 3 will be arriving in July and will have 6 all new castings.  So this is going to be a awesome set, that will fill in great with the previous releases of Auto-Thentics.  Please pre-order your sets soon. 

HOT WHEELS
We just added the new 100% D assortment rides to the site.  All subscribers to the 100% have 1 new vehicle on hold for thier shipment.  If you would like that ride early just put that in the comment box on checkout and we can add it when you place your next order.
We still have the full line of the 1/50 VW Series rides in stock.  some great assortments in this line-up.

THE MZ BUS PROJECT
Tomorrow is the big day for the sale of the American Pride Bus.  This will go on sale at 7:00pm Indiana Time (Chicago Time).  This is the 5th Bus in the Milezone VW Bus Project line-up.  After that we are planning 2 more busses before the year is over.  We are keeping to a strict max. 2 orders per person.  We want to give everyone a chance to own one of these rides.  Please respect this policy.

FUTURE “PROJECTS”
With the success of the VW Bus Project, we decided to keep the “Project” going by adding 2 new lines for 2009, plus a HUGE announcement coming in a month or so for a 3rd.
Right now you cna get a sneak peek at the “Milezone Holiday Project” and Milezone Camaro Project”.  Both of these will be Greenlight castings, and will offer you 4 vehicles in each series.
Stay tuned for the best news in the “Project” line in a month or so……..

PRE-ORDER INFO
We have never really brought this up before, but figured it may help in your decision to make pre-orders with us.
Anytime you make a pre-order your credit card is never charged until the product ships.  Only Paypal and Money Order payments are real time payments.
Pre-Orders are very very important to us as this is what determines the amount of product we order.  An example is if we only received 10 cases of product for pre-order, we will only order 15 cases.  Many times you see products sell out fast.  This is due many times to a small pre-order.Â
We understand many times you are only looking for one set piece, so making a pre-order is a bit hard.  Just keep in mind, that set piece may be what everyone else is looking for so chances of getting that piece could be hard.
Ok enough of the boring info, we figure this may help you in making your pre-orders more often with us.

ON VACATION
We will be closing shop for a few days next week to celebrate the 4th of July as well as a great Family reunion get-together.  ;-)  We will be out of the office from Thursday to Sunday.  We will return the following Monday, the 7th.  We will try and answer emails from time to time, but for the most part we will be out of contact until July 7th.

That’s it for this weeks newsletter.  We want to wish you and your family a awesome 4th of July week.  Stay cool, have a great bar-b-que, and watch those fireworks fly……..

What a day.  We managed to pack up 92 boxes for shipment today, one of our top packing days.  ;-)  We finished most Flames Firebird pre-orders, and tomorrow we plan to finish those up as well as all Speed 2 pre-orders.

Then Friday we hope to get all regulars orders caught up.

Next week is going to be a quick week for us as we are going to be taking off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  We are having a big family Reunion for the 4th of July, so it’s gonna be a quick 3 day week for us.  I promise all orders will be caught up before we leave for vacation.

Ok I’m dead tired, and gotta start over tomorrow, so that’s it for tonight….

Russ

Also I do want to let you all know about some cool M2 Machines 5 Packs we will be receiving next week.  there will be 4 different ones including some awesome stretched Limo’s and more.  Watch for teh photos to go on the site later this week for a quick pre-order.

Ok that’s it, gotta get ready for the busy week……

Ok we had a pretty scary weekend.  Most of Saturday and Sunday we were down for server/database issues.  Luckily from previous experience we do daily backups so we simply restored most everything except for the same day orders (many of those we even have).  But it was a 2 day ordeal of no business, which Weekends of course our the best sales days for us.  ;-( 

So with that said I need to convience you all to go to the site and make up for lost time.  ;-)  Get in there and order up some goodies. 

Ok todays events……..we shipped all subscriptions for the July Bus.  And we are ready for this Friday’s sale of the remaining 45 peices we have for sale.

We are awaiting the big shipment of Greenlight’s Speed Release 2 and the Flames - The Series Trans Am.  Once those arrive (which is scheduled for Wed) we will be quite busy till Friday trying to get out all pre-orders.

Tomorrow we are planning on doing some store cleaning and making room for a new batch of rides.  And hopefully lots of orders fro myou guys tonight….hint hint. 

OK that’s the scoop for tonight.  Have a great night and we’ll see you tomorrow…..

Russ

Hi Everyone,

The site is currently down due to server/database issues.  You will not be able to log in, order, or view categories and products.
We had some major coruption to the site.  Nothing that effects customers information, so no worries there.Â
But the site will be down most of the weekend as there are many fixes needing to be done.
Please give us a few days to work out the issues and we will be back in action.  Thanks and have a great weekend.

Russ

Wow, I had no idea so many of you were reading these blog’s.  I figured being as things were a bit slow around the site I would just throw up the offer of a Thank You ride for anyone who reads these and make a purchase last night.  Holy Moly!  you guys got us right to work. 

I know the last years Thank You cars are not the greatest (our first print with new machine last year) so it was quite a surprise to see so many orders come in with the “Thanks You” comment.  ;-)  You can surely bet that I am alreayd working on this years Thank You vehicle, and it will be one you will all love. 

So keep doing what you are doing, and read these boring old blog’s. 

Ok so today as mentioned I was planning on printing up the July bus, but due to lots of orders (thank you very much) we did mostly orders today, and then got the busses ready for tomorrow’s work. 

Also today got in some new 1/50 scale VW from Hot Wheels.  A few new ones in the batch, so take a peek over there. 

It’s official the truck is heading our way with our Flames ride, and will be here Wed. (possible Tuesday, but saying Wed. to be safe).  there is also a few other things that are on this delivery, but can’t give that away till the time in right  ;-)  Another month, and you will all know.

Other than that, you are brief’s on todays life and adventure at Milezone’s.  hehehe 

Russ

Ok let’s see how many of you are reading the nightly BLOG’s.  ;-)  So listen very very carefully, this will be the only way this works. 

Order now till tomorrow morning (10:00am) and in the comment box of the checkout write “THANK ME PLEASE”.  If you do this we will add a ‘33 Ford Thank you vehicle for free to your order.

Now to see if you keep reading the blog, just added a awesome deal for the JL Flames - the Series rides.  Order the set of 4 and you will receive a free White Lightning.  Yes, order the set and not only will you get the full set of 4, but you will also get a FREE White Lightning version.  Order 4 sets, and you will get a full set of White Lightning Flames rides.  this is while supplies last, so I wanted to give you guys reading a heads up before folks start seeing the deal.

Ok now that we got that out of the way, here’s some more happenings of today……

The Milezone’s Custom Dodge Charge is finished and will be shipping to pre-orders tomorrow.  We have these at a awesome price of $6.99, those who pre-ordered at $7.99 will only be charged $6.99.  There are about 40 left so please order soon.

Also in fresh from Greenlight is the Pace Car Garage ‘08 Indy 500 Pace Car.  We only have 22 of these available, so again you gotta work fast around here. 

I will not lie, we have been sneaking out early lately.  We are having our first family reunion 4th of July weekend, so there is so much we want to prepare for.  So we have been sneaking out around 3.  I promise after the 4th weekend, so start sticking around the store a bit longer.  ;-) 

Ok that’s it for tonight, see you all tomorrow……

Russ

Today we shipped out all pre-orders for the Mopar Mayhem R2, man the more I look at those rides, the more I like Mopar.  And I’m not even a Mopar kinda guy. 

Other happenings today I started printing the Milezone’s Custom Dodge Charger, this one is gonna be really cool.  Just a nice clean look. 

And then I spoke with Greenlight about the big shipment next week.  We are getting in Flames - The Series Firebird Trans Am, Speed 2, and a few “Secret Surprises” I was mentioning to you all in the newsletter.

Ok that’s it for tonight, see you all tomorrow…..
